MANIA

Part 40ᴹ

Mature scenes ahead

A low hum escapes Y/N's lips as she bured herself deeper into the comfort of her warm blankets.

It's been about two weeks since she made up with Jisoo, and currently, she's taking things one day at a time. Now, they seem to have a council meeting every few days to see if any news has appeared regarding Miyeon and her two dangerous woman partners. She doesn't know why, but she has this ominous feeling that Miyeon's going to act soon.

Just as she feels her subconscious fading once more into the land of dreams, she is reminded of what woke her in the first place.

The sound of buzzing coming from right beside her head has her groggily reaching towards her phone. Blinking a few times, she faintly registers who's calling her before she's answering on the third ring.

"Yeri?" Her voice is somewhat strained as she presses her phone to her ear. "What's wrong?"

A moment of silence before she heard her friend sniffling on the other end.

Immediately, Y/N's eyes are flinging open as she sit up in bed. Worry pulls at her features as she hears Yeri crying over the phone. "What happened?" she moved the covers off of herself, standing to her feet in an instant as she shove her slippers on.

"I-" Yeri sobs. "I-"

"Yeri-"

"IVE!" Yeri sobs into her ear, and Y/N finds herself breathing a sigh of relief.

"For fuck's sake, Yeri!" She playfully scold her best friend. "Don't scare me like that!"

"IVE's comeback!" Yeri continues. "It's... it's... immaculate!"

"And here I was thinking your ex tried contacting you again." Y/N huffed, shaking her head.

"Have you seen the Off the record music video, yet?" Yeri asks, completely ignoring her statement.

"No, I've been sleeping." Y/N retorted, sitting back onto the edge of the bed. "You know, like I usually do at this time."

"Oh, shut up. It's already noon." The way Yeri rolls her eyes at her is clear in her tone. "You need to go and watch this music video right now, like right now."

"Babe, I-"

"Liz has lines." Yeri cuts her off.

A moment of silence passes over them once more.

Y/N blinked. "The fuck! Why didn't you lead with that?" she's back on her feet in an instant, speeding to the cinema room down the hallway.

"Now, do you understand why I called you in tears?" Yeri hums, and Y/N can just tell her friend is quirking a brow at her as she sniffs through the line again. "Actually, hold that thought. I'll ask you again once you've watched it."

"Okay, okay, hold your horses," Y/N trapped her phone between her cheek and shoulder as she begins to set everything up. "I'm just pulling up YouTube now."

"Oh, I can't fucking wait for you to watch this," Her best friend cackles maniacally. "Just wait until you see your biases."

"Oh, no," Y/N chuckled.

"Oh, yes," Yeri cackles again. "Put me on speaker, I want to listen to the song again, too."

"Okay, okay," She said, doing just that. Taking a deep breath, she selected the video. "Here we go."
